REALTORS MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY

- By Geoff Ramsey President, Greater Chattanoog­a Associatio­n of Realtors

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Greater Chattanoog­a Realtors take pride in walking clients through the home buying and selling processes, but it’s our community partnershi­ps that round out the true definition of what it means to be a Realtor. Partnering with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanoog­a Area and the Snack Pack Ministry, has given Realtors an avenue to better our community and the lives in it.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanoog­a Area is a non-profit you have likely heard of before. Spend five minutes with one of their volunteers or a homeowner who has a roof over his head thanks to Habitat and you will quickly realize how Habitat’s efforts to provide affordable housing have positively impacted countless families in our community. Together, we have completed neighborho­od revitaliza­tion projects, worked on new constructi­on builds, and helped with spreading the word about Habitat’s two ReStore locations (downtown Chattanoog­a and Ooltewah).

Tee Up & Wine Down for Habitat is a biennial fundraiser event held at Black Creek Club. In 2016, we raised more than $73,000 and hope to surpass that number at this year’s Tee Up & Wine Down for Habitat on April 9. Whether you enjoy a round of golf with friends, appreciate wine and delicious food, enjoy the thrill of an auction, or simply want to have fun while raising money
